Xie Chuyao took a sedan chair back to Moxuan Palace, as soon as she entered the palace gate, she saw that the entire palace was colorful, although it was night, but this red and red festive, even if it was dark, it could still be seen.

"Miss, I want to tear these things off when I see them." Hongqiang lifted the sedan curtain and looked out, gritted her teeth and said, she is hateful when she sees these lanterns now, and when she thinks that tomorrow that woman will enter this Moxuan Palace, she is very unhappy.

Xie Chuyao listened to her indignant voice, she just smiled slightly, and she didn't take it seriously on her face, but when she saw those colored lights, just like Hongqiang said, it was really eye-catching.

"Miss, don't you really mind if the eldest princess marries in? The slave doesn't seem to be angry at all when she sees you. Lu Zhu couldn't help asking, even the last time she saw the fifth prince with the eldest princess, she said the same thing to the eldest lady, she didn't seem to be angry yet, so she couldn't help but wonder if the eldest lady didn't like the five princes.

But then she denied this idea, if the eldest lady didn't like the five princes, she wouldn't show affection everywhere, but she really wondered about the eldest lady's attitude.

"Lu Zhu, in fact, how can I not care about not being angry, it's just that some things can't be changed by being angry, Shang Jingcheng is a must to accept the eldest princess, even if I am a hundred reluctant, I can't change anything by myself, do you want me to make trouble with Shang Jingcheng? Besides, it's still a question of whether this family affair can be successful. Xie Chuyao didn't say it too clearly, but only vaguely mentioned that this was Shang Jingcheng's plan, and if he said too much, he was afraid that he would make a mistake.

Green Bead and Red Rose are both her henchmen, and she will never say these words, but it's better not to say them in detail, just in case.

The two of them listened to her words, and they were a little surprised, what does the eldest lady mean by this? She said that it was a question whether this family affair could be successful, did it mean that the five princes had other plans? Thinking of this, the two of them glanced at each other tacitly and did not continue to ask.

The emperor sent two elderly grandmothers over to teach Xie Chuyao some palace etiquette that he needed to do tomorrow, in fact, it was nothing more than drinking the bride's toast, saying some auspicious words to the red envelope, and then giving some simple etiquette to the eldest princess.

Along the way, it was already the third watch at night, and the two grandmothers did not leave, and they fell asleep in her side hall, which made the three of their masters and servants stunned and did not dare to speak loudly, nor did they dare to say anything considerate, even Ah Yimeng and Xie Yunyi fell asleep early, and they did not dare to make a noise at will, and this Moxuan Palace suddenly seemed a little more serious.

Xie Chuyao was served by Green Bead and Red Qiang and lay down, but she didn't feel sleepy at all, although she knew that these were all for show, Shang Jingcheng wouldn't really take that woman in, but after all, there was something in her heart, and she couldn't sleep over and over again, so she simply didn't sleep, and sat up all of a sudden, almost not scaring the Green Bead waiting on the side.

This eldest lady has a big belly and doesn't know how to lighten it, what should I do if it hurts the child?

"Miss, why are you awake?" Lu Zhu rubbed her eyes and asked, she was about to fall asleep in a daze just now, and she didn't know what was going on.

Xie Chuyao shook his head, sighed and said, "Don't sleep, give me a lamp." ”

Lu Zhu responded when she heard this, and then lit two palace lamps, seeing that she looked irritable, she thought that the eldest lady was finally impatient, no, she couldn't sleep.

"Miss, why don't I tell you a story." Luzhu didn't know what to do, so she could only think about telling her own story to her own lady.

Xie Chuyao chuckled when she heard this and said, "I'm not Xiao Yunyi, what kind of story do I tell, it's okay, you go to sleep, I read the medical book, what about Hongqiang?" ”

"Hongqiang went back to the next room, today I am on duty, Mama Liu and Mama Chen are asleep in the side hall, if the eldest lady has something on her mind, it is better to say it and listen to it, maybe the green beads can relieve the boredom of the eldest lady." She knew that the eldest lady must not be able to sleep because of tomorrow's events.

Xie Chuyao waved his hand, got off the bed, put on a coat and took a medical book, since he was irritable and couldn't sleep, then read the book, maybe he could sleep when he was tired of reading!

Shang Jingcheng was not there, I heard that he was still in the barracks with the soldiers to practice, and she didn't know whether he was really in the barracks or went somewhere else, but the boredom in her heart couldn't be relieved at all, she could only hold the medical book in a daze.

Seeing that she was just reading with her head down and not speaking, Lu Zhu had to sigh and retreat outside the hall to continue the vigil.

Sleepless nights.

The next day, before the sky was very bright, the Moxuan Palace was officially busy.

As soon as it was dawn on this day, the palace maids began to tidy up things in an endless stream, taking care of them, moving things, although they didn't make a lot of noise, but the footsteps and whispers were somewhat disturbing, and Xie Chuyao was woken up again when he had just fallen asleep.

She stared at the top of the bed with her eyes open, and pulled the quilt over her head sharply, trying to silence the voices, but no matter how she covered her head and face, the sound kept hitting her ears, and finally, she sighed, pulled the quilt away, and sat up again.

After sleeping for less than two hours, the whole person was not energetic, and her head was still a little groggy, she couldn't help but close her eyes and rubbed her forehead with her hands, trying to wake herself up.

At this time, the door was opened with a 'squeak', Xie Chuyao thought it was a green bead, so he said without looking at it: "Green bead, come and press my head, I can't sleep well and I feel dizzy, it's so uncomfortable." ”

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps, and the person who came stepped forward and pressed his hand on her forehead and rubbed it gently.

"You're back." Xie Chuyao opened her eyes and glanced up slightly, just in time to see Shang Jingcheng looking down at her slightly, so she asked softly.

As soon as his hand pressed his forehead, she was him, and the feeling of this hand would not be wrong, and sure enough, when he looked up, he saw that it was him.

He was dressed in a dark robe, his face was slightly tired, and he looked like he had just returned from outside.

"Why don't you sleep for a while?" Shang Jingcheng said while rubbing her skull.

Xie Chuyao tugged at the corners of his mouth and said, "I want to too, but where can this person sleep when people come and go, and they all start to move outside, so where did you go this night?" Why are you only coming back now? Actually, she didn't want to ask, but in the end she couldn't help but ask.

Shang Jingcheng looked at her face and found that there was no unhappiness, so he said, "Where else can I go, it's in the barracks." ”

"Well, I'll follow the procedure today, right? Do I need to do anything? She didn't know what his specific plan was, or maybe he didn't have any plan at all, he just really planned to take the eldest princess in, but after thinking about it, she felt impossible, so she finally asked with a somewhat uneasy heart.

Shang Jingcheng put his hand down, sat beside her and hugged her gently before saying: "You don't have to do anything, everything is just like usual, Yao'er, after today, there may not be a few days of stable life, Liguo will invade in a few days, you ......"

"I'll protect myself and my children, you don't have to worry about us, just do it!" Xie Chuyao's voice was not loud, but she sounded extremely serious.

Shang Jingcheng rested his chin on her shoulder and whispered, "Don't you ask me about my specific plan?" ”

"If I ask you, you won't tell me, it's better not to ask, since I don't need to do anything, then I can only let you be careful, just think about me and the child before doing anything." Xie Chuyao broke away from his embrace and turned to look at him, his eyebrows and eyes stained with worry.

Shang Jingcheng looked at her, nodded and said, "Okay, I promise you." ”

Xie Chuyao sighed and wanted to hug him, but found that it was still a little troublesome to hug him with his big belly now, so he could only sneer and withdraw his hand, but Shang Jingcheng hugged her regardless of it, although the posture of holding it was a little weird, but in the end, it was hugged.

"Fool, if you can't hold it like that, you can change it, you see, don't you hug it now?" Shang Jingcheng gently stroked her hair, and his words were full of pity.

Xie Chuyao was a little warmer by his gentle words, so he said a little more lively: "Hug is hugging, but you don't know, the baby started kicking me, he must be protesting, this posture makes him uncomfortable." ”

Shang Jing Chengsu smiled when he heard this, let go of her, and then lay on her belly, turned his ear to listen to the baby's heartbeat, listened and listened, and was startled by the protrusion that the baby suddenly kicked out, and that reaction made Xie Chuyao laugh unceremoniously.

"Wow, you little guy, you dare to kick your father, hmph, when you come out, your father will beat your ass." Shang Jingcheng's face was full of loving smiles, since Yao'er was pregnant with a child, he felt that his originally warm heart was more soft, he felt that this was the best thing that the child gave him, it could make him more afraid of the bloody wind and rain outside, even if the future was very difficult, he could move forward bravely.

At this time, someone knocked on the door outside, "The fifth prince, the eldest lady, it's not early, and the grandmothers are starting to urge the fifth prince and the eldest lady to get up and dress up!" ”

It was the voice of the green beads, presumably the two grandmothers were busy directing those palace maids to do things and didn't have time to come over, so she came over to spread the word.

"Got it, come in." Xie Chuyao gently pushed Shang Jingcheng and motioned him to get up, but Shang Jingcheng ignored her, Luzhu was an old man, and he had long been used to seeing him like this, so where did he need to be avoided.

Lu Zhu came in with a basin of water, and she didn't feel so strange when she saw such a scene, but a smile was dyed on her originally plain face, and she was relieved to see that the fifth prince and the eldest lady were still the same as before.
